Hello and welcome to the Slow Home Podcast. This is the podcast all about slow living in a fast-paced world.

My name is Brooke McCallory. My name's Ben McCallory. Welcome to episode 255 where we continue our mindful moments of September.

So last week we spoke about, first of all, why we decided to make this our September

experiment in short, because we are in a very intense full period of life,

to something much more manageable. And it's been interesting meeting a lot of people on the book

tour who talk about the fact that they want to be mindful, they want to slow down, they want

the benefits of it, but they genuinely feel that they don't have time. So to me,

this seemed like the perfect experiment for September. It is. It's definitely the, it's,

it feels right for us. It does. Because we're getting a lot of questions actually, all right,
